The 2005 TRS, 2200 TRS and 2200 TE are pre-wired with a 24-volt system (2 trolling motor batteries) and perform well with an 80lbs thrust trolling motor in the large majority of conditions. A 60” shaft trolling motor should work for most all applications for all Pathfinder models excepting for the 2700 Open, where an 84” shaft is recommended because of its taller bow. Your Pathfinder comes pre-wired for a trolling motor standard and also comes with backing plates that are laminated into the bow for trolling motor mounting.

Your local Pathfinder dealer is also a good source for helping you determine the prop that’s right for you. There are a number of excellent resources online for helping you to choose the correct prop for your boat, including this one from Yamaha. If you still feel that your boat is underperforming, a new prop of the same size or a different sized prop that better matches how you have your boat configured might be in order. Obviously, if your boat is heavier due to load and added accessories than the test boat, then it will likely be slower and have lower fuel efficiency than stated in the bulletin. If the prop model and size match the model number on the performance bulletin, you should next compare how your boat is configured and your load relative to the boat in the bulletin.
PATH FINDER BOATS CODE
The larger of the two numbers in the code will typically be the pitch size. This will be stamped on the throat of the prop or inside the open end of the prop. If you don’t have that or feel like the prop is not the original prop, you should be able to determine the prop size and model by looking for the model code on the prop. That should be included on the original paperwork from the selling dealer. If your boat is not performing in near accordance with the numbers seen on the corresponding boat and engine model performance bulletin, the first step is to determine your prop size. Please keep in mind that boat performance is highly dependent on how the boat is configured ( top or no top, number of batteries, etc.), variable load (number of passengers, livewells empty or full, weight distribution, fuel on board, etc.), how the boat is operated ( proper use of engine trim and trim tabs), and the condition of the prop.
When available Pathfinder and Yamaha provide guidance on best overall prop selection by model and engine package via Yamaha’s Performance Bulletins, found on the model pages of this website under “Performance” and at Yamaha’s site. New Pathfinders will be paired with the proper prop size and style for best overall performance by the selling dealer. The proper prop size for your Pathfinder depends on how you have your boat configured (options and weight) relative to your engine size. What is the best prop for my model/ engine size combination?

Nationwide, on any given day there are more anglers and their families enjoying their Pathfinders than any other dedicated bay boat manufacturer. Most are happy to share their experiences regarding customizing their boats, especially at one of the Pathfinder “fun” tournaments. With all the incredible options and models available, Pathfinder owners have the ability to “trick out” their boats with a lot of personal customization features.
It is a pride of ownership returning to the dock at the end of the day, dry and comfortable. What most of these owners have in common is an unbridled passion about their boats. For some owners their Pathfinder is not only a fishing boat, it is a dive boat, ski boat and an exploration boat as well. Others plan the entire family’s recreation options around trips on our boats. The best part of owning a Pathfinder is the idea of simply jumping in the boat and getting “out” there for a couple of hours. Pathfinder owners are anywhere you will find fish. From the oil rigs of Louisiana to the Spartina banks of the Carolinas. From the Florida Keys to the New England shore. Many are hard-core anglers who spend their time pursuing all kinds of gamefish in all sorts of locations. Pathfinder’s slogan is Angler Driven which really describes our Pathfinder owners.
